What is recorded here

Kilmurrin preserved Murina's seaside church, linking her to Baramedan and Kilbarrymeaden. The ruin still showed through earth when first described, while a field called Relig kept the sacred name alive. Whether graves lay beneath that field or beside the lost walls, the coast still holds the shape of her worship.

There was a church dedicated to Murina, the sister of St. Baramedan who was the patron of Kilbarrymeaden church (WA025-040001-). Murina's church was close to the sea in Kilmurrin, and traces of the ruin were still evident (Ryland 1824, 271). While a field called Relig is known (Mooney and Kavanagh 1977, 19) the location of any graveyard is not precisely known. Compiled by: Michael Moore. Date of upload: 20th May, 2011.

Christian burial ground, medieval period; associated with a church dedicated to Saint Murina, indicating early monastic or ecclesiastical activity in the region. Its location near the sea suggests possible connections to coastal trade or pilgrimage routes.
